@rua1

Hi, rua1. I'm getting the 8038 error. I tried your v.2.43, I changed from SPFT v3.1252.1 to v3.1224.01, I removed the said lines (__NODL_BMTPOOL 0xFFFF0A80{}), and I tried different button combinatios but I still getting the 8038 error (in SPFT v.3.1252.1) or 8100 Error (in SPFT v3.1224.01). Attached is the set of logs from my pc with both versions of SPFT. Number 1 was error 8038 with SPFT v3.1252.1, and number 2 was Error 8100 with SPFT v3.1224.01. Could you help me to know how to do?

Thanks in advance!!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] rua1:
Yes, after qemu mode it is usually necessary to do it. About it it is written in a guide at the Russian forum, I while have no opportunities everything to translate here.

yes, it is possible to read only boot, originally in the guide I was so.

original recovery isn't used by the program, it is necessary only for a backup

the difference is obvious ;) , we will have a backup of main blocks if to do on a new guide. IMHO is the safest method of root ... well and "_pmt" a scatter the file still now began to become.

you used "_pmt" a scatter? Please give me log.txt from the droidtools folder and both scatter files

Yup I had used binary to root.. But wiping didn't help.. Phone was still slow.. I re rooted using binary method .. Now it's working fine :)

rua1 im just gonna tell you the main problem. i cant read back on my phone . i tried changing the platform file do disable download . it does detect my phone on com 7 but still gettin brom error. i think im left with test point only
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Mawe79:
@jufegoco

can you please tell me which kind of phone you have? And which CPU? MT6577 or MT6589?

I think i can help you, but first please answer these Questions!

@rua1

maybe you got me wrong, but i still don't know the difference.

I know that i only need the boot.img to get root in shell, but why than the modify of the recovery?

You know the point when clicking on the "boot and recovery" you have to choose Boot.img and recovery.img

But why the reovery? What happens with the recovery? You said nothing, but why did i have to load it?!? And Droidf Tools modify it, but why did it modify it, when it's still the same?!?

And then I didn't understand the difference between these Metode and the MEthode with "to process file ROM_from FlashTool"?

Maybe you can be more exact?

For what exactly I need this method?

Because the program contains exploits necessary for rooting and your antivirus software detects it as a virus, just temporarily turn off your antivirus program while downloading.

[MENTION=2356703]htctouch2t3333[/MENTION] is it possible that your hardware is in fact mt6572? some manufacturers are using this cheaper chip and disguising it as mt6589 the problem with mt6572 is that some of the devices have a different file system (UBIFS) which makes a full backup with droid tools difficult

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=47005386&postcount=630

Edit, I now see that there were some changes affecting ubifs backup in version 2.5.3, see this post

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] htctouch2t3333:
when i made the backup i used mtkdroid tools 2.4.8 and now i try to make files to flash from that backup with version 2.5.3

maybe this is the problem, when i made the backup , mtkdroid 2.4.8 couldn't do it corectly and in my backup are some errors

On sdcard i found another backup under clockworkmode but i don't know if it was created with mtkdroid or directly from recovery
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] oscarblue48:
It might be usefull if you could upload your mtkdroid log,txt file for the backup session, someone on here might make some sense of it. If the files on your sd card were made by droid tools then they will have the same folder name as the one in your backup folder on your pc, usually the date followed by a 6 figure number
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] htctouch2t3333:
how to do this ? i must check the log when i made the backup ? or the log from prepare files to flash ?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] htctouch2t3333:
fresh log

error to boot.img signature

i think boot.img is the kernel and the problem is that i can't find a similar kernel .... "Kernel v : 3.4.5 (lxq@work-server5-desktop) "
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] oscarblue48:
Ok so the boot.img was not copied to the '!Files_To_FlashTool' folder, right?

but it must exist in the backup folder as it passed the MD5 check, have a look in the MtkDroid tools Backup folder on your pc, if boot.img is there just copy and paste it into '!Files_To_FlashTool' folder and try to flash again. Not saying it will work but its worth a try, if not perhaps [MENTION=5119815]rua1[/MENTION] might be able to help if its a signature issue
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] oscarblue48:
Hmm I think this is probably beyond the scope of my knowledge, but it would appear, as I mentioned at the top of the page that it is a mt6572 with ubifs file system in which case i think it might be the system image that is the problem , to quote [MENTION=5119815]rua1[/MENTION] "On phones with ubifs filesystem backup system unit is in 3 forms:

tar archive. not for FlashTool!

system.ibifs.img. not for FlashTool!. Of this file under linux you can make an image for Flashtool

nodl_system.bin. As owners say, this file can flash through FlashTool. It must be edited manually rename and move to a folder for FT.No guarantees, on your own risk!"

You could check to see if you have nodl_system.bin in your backup, and rename as suggested, beyond that I'm afraid I'm running out of ideas.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] htctouch2t3333:
thank you for answers but i don't have nodl_system.bin in backup.... hope someone with the same specs for this phone to make a good backup .... about the system.img i try to flash it from every rom for this phone or similar and nothing.

I'm looking to port a Rom for my octacore MTK6592 device that is as close as possible to the nexus experience. Pure Google. Is there a Rom like this for these devices?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] bgcngm:
It has already been written that this thread is not specific ROM related and should not be used to ask for ROMs. Use forum search or Google for that and please keep this thread clean.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] slekkas:
I'm not asking for someone to hand me a rom. I want to use this guide to port my own rom but since the octacore MTK6592 device is pretty new it's hard to find any info and I was wondering if someone new witch MTK6592 uses almost pure Android. Anyways.... Sorry for bothering you.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] bovirus:
Someone already replied you but seems that you want not underatnd.

This thread is related to MTKDroid (please read carefully the first posts - always).

If any one here cn help me!

I hv backed up my stock rom using mtk droid tool,but when i load scatter file and use firmware upgrade(for unkown baseband prblm),it wont load coz all images r not selected like cache,userdata!so how to remove this?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] bgcngm:
Although it is not on-topic I will reply. In order to use "Firmware upgrade" on SP Flash Tool you have to have the full ROM, otherwise will never allow you to flash the phone. There's no other way than to flash the whole ROM.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] KopiJahe:
AFAIK, USRDATA and CACHE isn't checked in SP Flash Tool is perfectly normal. You can go ahead flashing, but don't forget to wipe data and cache via stock recovery later :)

I even done formatting my phone via SP Flash Tool without USRDATA and CACHE in order to upgrade my phone to new rom with different partition layout

Could be a false positive? I'm not so sure. Avast and Avira detects MTKDRT as a threat, but with Malwarebytes nothing comes up during scan.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] oscarblue48:

[MENTION=5460959]rkharat98[/MENTION] [MENTION=5683838]iZLeeP[/MENTION] answered this a couple of pages back, basically Mtkdroid tools contains exploits necessary for the rooting process, and this may be detected as a virus by your antivirus program, just temporarily disable your antivirus while downloading, or if you're really paranoid, don't download

your phone will not function correctly if sec_ro missing, on my phone the error is the phone can't read the second IMEI correctly (giving invalid or 000000 IMEI 2)

In more recent version (2.5+), it's called secro.img

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] oscarblue48:
You could try using a different build of mtdroid tool, I have found that v2.4.8 does not produce a secro_img but v2.5.1 does but that is for a mt6577 so not sure about your device.

Regarding your rom question, this is not really the thread for that, you'll get more help in the thread for your device, but generally speaking I would be very wary of flashing any rom for your phone unless you are certain it is the correct one.

Hi [MENTION=5632627]N'ayam Amarsh'e[/MENTION] if you are only creating a backup, all you are doing is copying files from your device I would say that it is extremely unlikely, having said that, nothing is guaranteed, and you do so at your own risk.

Could you confirm that also with MTKDroid 2.5.3 the limitation (impossible to do - like CWM) are in place?

Yous aid that you CAN install SU (the current suystem didn't hacev SU).

Ho can do that (install SU) if CWM recovery is not available?

Thanks.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] oscarblue48:
If you check out the v2.5.3 MtkdroidTools.ini file, it includes the lines...MakeUbifsRecovery = No

; Make auto CWM on UBIFS device

;Yes - For Test Only !!!

and this from the russian thread re version history v2.5.3..

The file MTKdroidTools.ini appeared parameter MakeUbifsRecovery . If its value is changed to "yes", then the generated machine CWM will be inspected and will be able to record it in the body. But what happens, let the owners told curious ;). Only for the test!

so I guess he's saying, it might be possible, but change to 'yes' at your own risk
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] bovirus:
Thanks for the info.

I patched with MTKDroid 2.5.3 a firmware (MT6572 - ext4 fs) and the recovery created by MTKDroid (CWM 6.-6.0.4) has a strange meaning.

When you switch on the phone with POWER & VOL+ appear a droid fall down (with red !)

If you now press POWER appear the main menu of CWM

Then now wiyj VOL- go step down and POWER switch off the screen and VOL+=OK (if you press VOL+ for log time the screen switch off - press POWER go on and you go back to CWM main menu). Strange....

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] oscarblue48:
If you mean the options "Backup userdata and cache" and Leave "FlashTool files on SD card" they have been excluded since version 2.5.0 I think probably because if you have a UBIFS file system then you cannot make a backup of these anyway, and they are not necessary for the purpose of restoring a device. If you have ext4 file system use 2.4.8 which includes these options
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ravvio:
I have used the 2.5.2 v previously and i was able to view these options.. And i checked the file system it is NTFS and not UBIFS ... Other functionality are working absolutely fine ...:good::good:
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] oscarblue48:
My copy of v2.5.2 doesn't display those options...

also I mean the file system on your phone, not your pc. click on Blocks Map in droid tools, and you'll see something like this.....

If it shows UBIFS or the field is blank, then you have UBIFS file system, if ext4 as shown, then you have ext4 file system;)

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] oscarblue48:
Firstly I would try the latest build of Mtkdroid tools, which I believe uses a later version of the cygwin files, but then you need to proceed with caution, you need to check to see if your phone has UBIFS file system as in my previous post here... http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=51116582&postcount=1030

if you have UBIFS system then you need to read here... http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=51106054&postcount=1025

From what I understand at the moment if you have ext4 system all is ok and you can make and install cwm, if you have UBIFS then to try it you have to edit the MTKdroidtools.ini file and involves an element of risk which I wouldn't recommend, but in the end its up to you.
